local gladius = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Weapons.Gladius
local Players = game:GetService("Player")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        print("Hi")
        local upperTorso = character:WaitForChild("UpperTorso")
        
        local gladiusClone = gladius:Clone()
        gladiusClone.Parent = character
    
        local handle = gladiusClone:WaitForChild("Handle")

        local motor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
        motor.Name = "WeaponWeld"
        motor.Parent = upperTorso
        motor.Part0 = upperTorso
        motor.Part1 = handle
        motor.C0 = CFrame.new(0,2.4,.75) * CFrame.Angles(89.5,0,0)
        print("Hi")
    end)
end)

Sometimes the CharacterAdded event fires and sometimes it doesnt? How can I make the event fire when the player joins? (This is a server script)

Super odd name, why is it Player and not Players?

Anyways, it could be possible that your event didn’t fire before client was added? That’s nearly impossible. Other than the aforementioned, there is no other reason it couldn’t have fired.

I believe it’s just a mistypo, Player would result as an error since that’s not a valid Service name while getting a specific Service, but Players is

This should be the fixed script hopefully?

local gladius = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Weapons.Gladius
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        print("Hi")
        local upperTorso = character:WaitForChild("UpperTorso")
        
        local gladiusClone = gladius:Clone()
        gladiusClone.Parent = character
    
        local handle = gladiusClone:WaitForChild("Handle")

        local motor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
        motor.Name = "WeaponWeld"
        motor.Parent = upperTorso
        motor.Part0 = upperTorso
        motor.Part1 = handle
        motor.C0 = CFrame.new(0,2.4,.75) * CFrame.Angles(89.5,0,0)
        print("Hi")
    end)
end)
